Auto-Leveling Flight Test on a Plane - KK2.0 OpenAero2

In my last article I explained how to add inexpensive auto-leveling and stabilization to your plane.  In this follow-up article, I strap the GoPro camera to my Bixler plane and we do a flight review of the product used, a HobbyKing KK2.0 Multi-rotor LCD Flight Control Board.  The free OpenAero2 firmware makes this board, which traditionally works with multi-copters, work on an RC plane.  Normally, these boards cost over $100, but this board is currently around $30 and has several other uses.

This review was done in high winds.  I hope to show another review in less wind to show the contrast.

Please comment and let me know what else you would like to see done with this board.
